FAQs

What would cause my Honda Civic not to start? ›

The most common reasons a Honda Civic won't start are a dead battery, an alternator problem, or failed starter.

If your vehicle won't start but you hear a rapid clicking sound when you turn the key then you may have a problem with your battery or alternator.

Interior Fuse Box

Located under the dashboard.

To locate the fuse specification chart for your vehicle or to learn how to change a fuse, refer to the "Fuses" section of your Owner's Manual.

The number one reason your Honda won't start is likely the battery. There are many issues that can cause a battery to die, such as corrosion around the connections, bad wiring, or simply age. If a jump-start won't fix this issue, it may be time to get your battery replaced.

Your car self not working could be attributed to several reasons, ranging from a dead battery, a blown fuse, clogged fuel filters or even an empty fuel tank. Luckily, you can resolve this issue through some simple troubleshooting if there are no major issues with your car.

Do you hear a clicking noise when you turn the key in your car's ignition? If so, it could be an indication of a more serious problem. This clicking noise is usually caused by one of five things: a dead battery, loose wiring, faulty starter motor, faulty ignition switch or corroded battery terminals.

Flat, faulty or dead battery

The battery is usually the main reason that your car won't start, and is one of the most common callouts to the AA. There are a few ways your battery might go flat or even die: Something electrical was left on in the car, like the lights, which ran the battery down.

One possibility is the solenoid. A single “click” sound comes from the engine compartment or from under the car. This could mean that the solenoid is trying to engage but that the internal components are stuck and unable to work properly. Repeated “clicking” sounds usually indicate a dead battery.

Which Fuse Controls the Dashboard Gauge? The instrument cluster fuse manages the dashboard gauge of a vehicle. It uses electricity from the car battery to power various electronic components of the dashboard such as the different warning lights, gauges, and alarm systems.

What fuse is only on when the car is on? ›

A switched fuse, on the other hand, only has power when the car is turned on. The main difference between the two is that a constant fuse provides continuous power even when the car is not in use, while a switched fuse only provides power when the car is running.

Spotting a blown fuse is usually SUPER easy. Look at the side of the fuse and inspect the filament inside. If it is broken, the fuse is blown. In some cases a blown fuse will be made more obvious by blackening of the fuse or even a slight warp or melting of its plastic case.

Flexi Says: A fuse in a circuit diagram is typically represented by a rectangle or a squiggly line. The rectangle is more common in American diagrams, while the squiggly line is more common in European diagrams.

First, you will need to determine the maximum fuse rating in amperages by applying this formula for calculation: P (Watts) ÷ V (Voltage) = I (Amps). Next, you will need to calculate the minimum fuse rating or amperage by multiplying that total (the maximum amperage rating) by 125%.

Look for the glass containers that hold the fuses. Inspect these containers thoroughly, checking for visible signs of damage. If it looks broken or cracked, it is likely blown. Additionally, some blown fuses have metallic residue running throughout the glass container.

When a car won't start but lights work, there may still be an electrical issue at fault. Your vehicle contains numerous separate electrical circuits and respective fuses for each. A fuse may have blown, terminals may have corroded, or connections and grounds been damaged.

If the car cranks when you turn the key, but the engine won't start, it could be because fuel isn't getting to the engine. One potential reason for this could be dirty fuel injectors. Over time, the fuel injector nozzles can become clogged with rust, corrosion or debris.

The most common reason cars don't start is a dead or faulty battery. Even though most cars run on gasoline, they all require electrical power to function. The starter that cranks your engine to start requires an electrical signal to fire. If something's wrong with your battery, your car engine won't turn over.
